Community Tour

The community tour started at the Membertou Trade & Convention Centre where delegates were escorted by buses around the community by very proud youth who had been selected and trained to be the tour guides for the day. The first stop included the beautiful Heritage Park where interpreters told the stories of the Mi’kmaw people and showcased their art and crafts that were handed down by generations. Delegates also had the opportunity to browse the gift shop and support the local economy by purchasing souvenirs to take home. Other stops included the first church of the Membertou First Nation, their graveyard which had local heroes’ memorials, the band office, community’s strip mall, a bank, a gas station, and restaurants to name a few.

Icebreaker Reception

The community tour finished at the Eskasoni First Nation’s Cultural Center where delegates gathered for the Icebreaker Reception. Delegates were treated to a traditional lobster meal and the performances by the local artists.
